Earth to edge of universe...

[nytecam]

Spied this vid YouTube - The Known Universe by AMNH which seems based on good science on a imaginary journey from earth to edge of know universe at 13.5 billion light-years ... and back again.

Take as different route to Connor7's "WOW" post

Good little vid that

Excellent, thank you Nytecam, I shall be passing on the link.


I was amazed how far our radio and television signals haven't gone yet. I guess the Little Green Men will not be coming any time soon!


Refreshing also to see the Earth depicted without the "good ol' USA" unrealistically large on the front cover. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, not there at all.

Hmmm, just had a thought.

Wouldn't it be funny if, when you get to the periphery of our Cosmos, you
panned out further to find it was just one particle in another Universe, in a
Fractal kind of way.

I don't think we have the mental capacity for reality, even if it does
exist. Maybe we should be looking inwards instead

Surely not like the annual Psychic Fayre at our local library - swinging crystals/ astrology / moon gardening

Not my cup of tea, but each to his own.

No, I was thinking more contemplation, introspection, meditation kind of reality rather than the apparent unfathomable physical one out there
